I feel Spealler. I've had those cramps in the obstacle course of 24 KM I did earlier this summer. The swim was in the middle of the course, I got out, started running few meters and my legs cramped up so hard I had to sit down and stretch. Hurts like hell too, I was so for few days after the event from those cramps.

"You can't really draw a parallel to triathlon because it's uneven terrain and a beach swim." 1) Off-road tri is a thing. 2) A lot of races have a beach swim. No, this isn't the same as triathlon, but not for the reasons stated.

I'm quite surprised not a single one was able to keep a consistent run, what with the fact some have half marathon/triathlon backgrounds. It really is hard to keep the runner's ability with the muscle that is needed for the games.

Should have made them do the swim in full cammies with a 80 pound water proofed pack and made them swim a mile and a half out and back, we did that every Friday from Del-Mar harbor. If you were first you didn't have to do the post fin punishment. Good job to everyone who ran this even if it a few years late.

The race starts with a 700-meter ocean swim with fins, followed by an 8-kilometer bike ride across undulating terrain and soft sand, and finishes with a 11.3-kilometer run across steep hills and more than 427 meters of elevation gain. In 1:57:33 for the first place. That is after they participated in several other courses over the previous few days and will continue just an hour after finishing this.

blackfox1320 Guess it depends on how you define "fit". But I do agree, their endurance is not really what you would expect from the "fittest" on earth. And on top of that, Rich Froning and most of the top finishing athletes every year never do well on the endurance part of the games.

You so-called runners have to understand that not all athletes are able to run like you probably because they are into different sports. If you judge a runner by his ability to do gymnastics or lift weights then it would seem like the funniest comedy show for the rest. Runners are very skinny when other kinds of athletes are extremely muscular hence, physically, they can't have the same stamina. So, you can keep your arrogance for yourself.
